Met a sailor on a summer's day
His smile it took my breath away
We danced beneath the stars so bright
But now he's gone, late in the night
He spoke of love and endless seas
Promised he'd come back to me
But as the waves pull him away
I wonder, will he return one day
All at sea, my heart's on fire
Wondering if his love will tire
Does he think of me, out on the tide?
Or has he another by his side?
The tides they turn, the seasons change
I'm left here feeling so estranged
Letters come but they're so few
I cannot help but feel so blue
Every night I watch the shore
Hoping he'll come back once more
But the whispers on the wind I hear
Speak of love that disappears
All at sea, my heart's on fire
Wondering if his love will tire
Does he think of me, out on the tide?
Or has he another by his side?
In my dreams, I see his face
Longing for his warm embrace
But when I wake, it's just the sea
And doubts that never set me free
All at sea, my heart's on fire
Wondering if his love will tire
Does he think of me, out on the tide?
Or has he another by his side?
I'll wait here by the water's side
With every wave, on every tide
Hoping one day he'll sail in view
But in my heart this love I rue
